Well, if you use the -Os option, nothing should have changed in
the fonts themselves since you disable the smoothing algorithm
anyway (you may want to try it without -Os, the new smoothing algorithm
is much better than the old one though slower). And you need to
add the option -GE to create the .enc files.

You can not actually use the fonts produced with -da, they are
produced only for the convenience of human reading (though my
other debugging scripts like "showg" can understand these fonts 
as well).
